Travellers need a Schengen visa to visit Austria for Business or Tourism. Travellers must obtain a paper or embassy visa from an embassy, consulate or visa center before travelling.

Travellers must have proof of accommodation during their stay in Austria.

The EU Entry/Exit System (EES) is a new digital border process for non-EU nationals travelling for a short stay (up to 90 days within 180 days). No advance action is required.

Travellers should allow additional time at passport control, especially during busy travel seasons. At passport control, travellers provide a facial photo and/or fingerprints. Passports are no longer stamped. Self-service kiosks may be available at some airports and border entries.

Travellers need proof of a ticket showing their entrance and exit from Austria.

This requirement doesn’t apply to the following travellers:

• Nationals of Austria
• Residents of Austria.

Travellers under 18 who are travelling alone are advised to carry a consent letter from a parent or legal guardian. The letter should include a copy of the child's birth certificate and a copy of the passport of the parent or legal guardian. If the child's surname differs from that of the parent or legal guardian, it is also recommended to include a copy of the parents' marriage certificate.

See the source for more details.

Travellers must have travel health insurance when visiting Austria.
Insurance should cover at least EUR 30,000.00, be valid in all Schengen countries, and cover the entire duration of stay.

Travellers need a valid passport to enter Austria. The traveller's passport must have been issued less than 10 years before the traveller's arrival date and remain valid for at least 3 months after the traveller's departure from Austria. The passport must have at least 2 blank pages.

• Health screening: While not always required, officials might ask for a health certificate or a medical exam upon arrival. This is more likely if you're coming from an area with a health outbreak or if you show signs of illness.
